Everyone more and more caring about environment. As one of the largest environmental impact factors-industry, experts are sparing no effort to reduce the impact of industry on the environment. So does Emerson. 
Emerson automation technologies using carbon capture as automation solutions to minimize the the industries enviromnmental footprint. The innovative techonological capabilities of Emerson, that can helping industry take on the tough challenge of adopting carbon capture. 

The capture efficiency of the CO2 is dependent on the solvent circulation rate. The higher the circulation rate, the more energy required in the stripper reboiler. There is therefore a trade-off between the capture efficiency and the energy cost to regenerate the solvent.Meeting the target CO2 capture rate in the most efficient manner possible is the challenge. Monitoring the capture percentage with on-line analysis allows for process optimization through multivariable control and analytics.

Corrosion and erosion are significant concerns in an amine unit. Carbonic acid attack is possible where water vapor condenses in the presence of CO2. Two phase flow at the feed to the stripper also results in erosion concerns. Sheer rates, turbulence and steam velocities are also key for corrosion and erosion control.

Reducing fugitive emissions and the risk of process leaks is also important for the amine treating unit.

The aims of Emerson is to optimize the process in order make a balance between ease with R&D and industrial scale.
